Ruby, SteveP, 5LTBETR & Deluxe, consider this a friendly early warning.

Noted Sled. Sorry for your headache :P

This all started because I rick rolled ns.com. I thought it funny, they didn't. However, prob started long before that. I go to ns.com for a chuckle, like the guy who reported his car stolen then wanted it back. They're the ones I'm referring too as being stupid. I see that kind of threads on ns frequently. So I'm disliked for pointing out the obvious.

I do not apologise for having a sense of humour ... but I do apologise for the reaction from ns.com spilling over into here.

Yes if someone hates NS - could you tell me why.

Its just weird, I don't really hate any forums but I don't take anything seriously on the internet, so that might be the reason why.

I was running with the Why So Serious thread in ns.com and they got serious. Obviously my humour is above their tolerance, so I've learnt my limits. It could have been dealt with by a Mod deleting the thread and PMing me a warning ... but I got the ban stick immediately. Questionable. The AJD thread, they got stuck into my car, and I ignored them for the most part. They hate me for not playing along, and pointing out the obvious stupidity at times. I do the same thing here.

I don't take the internet seriously. There a lots of kids being something they're not on it. But I do find most of the members I meet rewarding. I find a few forums enjoyable, such as SAU and TLZone (been a member there for over 8 years) due to their members. So regardless if it sound slike I'm rubbing ns.com the wrong way, there is no disrespect to NS.com at all, only certain members.

And for the record, those previous 7 bannings I have incurred are not related at all to the SAU SA club and occured for questionable circumstances, such as:

- for sale thread which was not to their standard, deleted, and before I was notified I noticed it missing and reposted = ban;

- putting a near nude pic of Jessica Alba in my avatar, it was removed and I was warned. I argued there was nothing out of order with the pic and it was tasteful. I was banned for my "talk back";

- when I returned from my holidays for the above mentioned ban, I put a diff pic up (but similar) and got banned for good;

- once got banned without warning from a forum for "violation of rules", but never informed what the offence was. Just never went back;

- got banned from a bike forum too for posting a vid of me doing a burnout. Banned for something like "promotion of hoon behaviour". This was 5 years ago and on private property :(

- once I got banned for good because a mod from a bike forum had a big problem with me, which started over a simple disagreement. We caught up and "sorted it out" and he abused his powers and banned me for good, because he didn't get the favourable outcome.

And now ns.com

Granted, my giggles at ns.com are not in the best interests of the SAU SA club, however I am entitled to whore in wasteland as a forum member, and if I'm out of order I'll take the warning from the Mods. I'm merely a member of the SAU SA club at this time, not a Committee member. If I were, I'd be thinking harder about my posts before I submit them and I would certainly be more professional. And in any case, some ns.com members' dislike for me has no relation to the SAU SA club. :sick:

So ... getting away from that whole mess ...

:D

Of course not ... much. :(

Why so serious?

edit: Hey, hey. I just got a ban from ns.com for the rick roll :sick:

You got banned coz you're a toss, who has no taste in cars (you may as well make Commodore guards for the rear of your wagon...it's the next logical step) and was just plain annoying :P

So ... where is a good place to get silicone hose clamps for an intercooler? I want to replace mine with new ones, but fear being charged too much and can't wait for ebay forever. I've sold my old fmic and piping and the current ones need to go to the buyer. :sick:

Need 2.5" and 3" ... don't want those simple radiator-style clamps either.

If you had the same taste as Ruby than I probably would tell you what I thought. I've been on here for years, it's just that I don't frequent here as much since I got rid of my Skylines.

Don't take it as a stab to SAU. I'm sure there's lots of great members, but having someone like Ruby run your forums is hardly a smart move.

Nevertheless, be assured that what I told him about his car is also what I'd tell him to his face :P

I'm sure you could make plenty of comments about my own, however you probably care as little as I do about the matter, and as such don't have the time to write a detailed explanation of how you feel about what I had to say.

I guess at the end of the day Ruby went to NS.com with the wrong intentions, thought he was funny and didn't read forum rules, and was banned after that.

I tried to suggest a better course of action for his car, and in his blinded, poor styling way told me he HAD taste.

That is clearly not the case.

PS. Ruby, speak to Autobarn, or any other generic supplier. They would have the biggest range in stock, though quality hose is never really cheap. Otherwise call some workshops to see if they have some older stuff lying around.

lol who said ruby runs our forums? you also comment on Ruby not reading forum rules, but you continued to slander him after a moderator posted a warning not to? and if you dont have time to write a detailed explanation, why did you bother coming here?

trust me, i dont care as much as you say you dont, but the wasteland is filling up with bullshit that everyone has just been warned about.

I'm purposely avoiding bagging Ruby too much. At the end of the day I read the warning from the moderator, and as such decided to delete my initial post. I have plenty of time atm. Bit of a quiet time, hence bothering writing here etc.

"Taste" is the eye of the beholder :sick:

I think I got my last clamps from Autbarn previously, but I recalled them being a bit pricey. Super Cheap have some awkward clamps (imo) that don't allow fitment in tight spaces. But if I gotta pay a decent coin, then I've got to. What kind of workshops do you recommend? ATS is a tad far for me to get to during a lunch break.

Any idea if Coventry Fasteners stock suitable clamps? I know they're only a phone call away, but they don't always answer their phones in a hurry.

At least you have brakes as well as the grunt! :( We're all one big happy family when we can all stop and count to 10.

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
